How to Get on Dean's List

As a student of Islam, we were taught to work, pray and tawakal in Allah. BUT efforts have discretion to how we can do well in exams?

The steps that should be implemented to becoming a successful student:

1.Define the goal. Typically the standard for acceptance to the Dean's List is full-time status and a 3.5 grade point average (GPA).

Success begins with clear goal

2.Engage in class discussions. Share knowledge. Ask questions. These strategies will improve your understanding and provide valuable feedback to your professor. Participatory involvement is key to learning.

3.Examine the syllabus. Most professors post their syllabi prior to the first class session. The syllabus will describe the contents of the course in detail and allow you to carefully plan your course load. Be sure you have the prerequisite classes.

4.Make your professors lifelong mentors and professional contacts.The best professors thrive on the rewards of a positive learning experience and will adapt their style to facilitate your learning. Understand the dean's role and introduce yourself.

Discussion

5.Manage your time.Prioritize. School responsibilities should come first. Carefully integrate other responsibilities around your school needs. Your priorities should entail reading, studying, attending class, listening, participating, taking notes and reviewing. Diligent time management will be necessary, but with it your college experience will be both fun and rewarding. Making the Dean's List will instill great habits and improve your chances on the competitive employment scene.

Manage your time

Additional charges prepaid reload ???

Why charges this tax now after all these years when Telcons have been absorbing it?

Let us see why these charges are??

In accordance to the service tax law, prepaid reload and prepaid sim packs are subjected to applicable service tax. this is similar to the service tax levied on food and beverage purchase from restaurants and hotels. Prepaid calls and sms charges were more expensive then have progressively dropped over the years.

Customers user to pay RM0.60 per minute when the service was first introduced but today it is as RM0.12 per minute.

In addition, customers now enjoy various promotion such as free airtime and bonus credits amongst others as part of the benefit of being a prepaid customer. Prepaid service is the only whereby the service tax has been absorbed by telcons, not by the customer.

I WANT TO STAY MOTIVATED BUT....HOW?

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatuLLAH...hi guys^^


Motivation???
Motivation is defined as the process that initiates,
guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.

Did you got it?^^

Motivation is what causes us to act, whether we want
to eat rice when we are hungry or
reading a book to gain knowledge.

It involves the biological, emotional, social and
cognitive forces that activate behavior. In everyday usage,
the term motivation is frequently used to describe why
a person does something.

So, what's actually tips that can make us stay motivated?

It is about two simple tips.

First, DO WHAT YOU LIKE.

It can be really difficult to stay motivated to do
something that is not enjoyable. Are we right?

Most of the successful motivated people that are
around have found something
they are passionate about.
This makes it easy for them to work hard on it for
so long. Someone who wants to be a motivated chemical
engineer but also likes psychology skill should find a
job associated with counselling.

Secondly, THINK POSITIVELY

Many people have fallen into the habit of looking at
everything with a negative perspective.

A pessimistic attitude can be effective when used
appropriately, but when it is the dominate attitude,
it can cause a person to become depressed and unmotivated.
Thinking positive allows people to solve problems
instead of create problems.

It is your choice. POSITIVE or NEGATIVE?

Most successful people had to overcome
big problems in their pursuit of success.
Because problems arise every day, having a positive attitude
allows a person to overcome those problems instead of constantly
be burdened by them.

So, don't waste your time. You are pleased to follow those tips. Yeah!

ALL THE BEST FRIENDS!^^

Wassalam^^

(What can We Do to Help Ease Hunger?)

South Africa had faced severe drought for almost 60 years
ago that affects nearly 11 million people in the area.

Food and water source existing can't afford to accommodate

the amount of victims that increase from day to day.

What about them over there??

Everyday, they will face the same problems.

No enough food to eat everyday.

Live the life hardly.

So far from peace.

So far from happiness.

Let us see the pictures of the situation here.

Refugees from Southern Somalia are receiving food

Almost of them died because of hunger.
However, the different situation has occurs right here.
Foods are thrown away everyday without any thought about our brothers over there.
And they just put the fate of existing aid, if any help come over,they can survive.

Ponder this and share with your friends.
Thank you for your time.

Haze in Malaysia

Haze in Malaysia

Parts of West Malaysia continued to suffer hazy conditions today (11^th September 2011), while other areas badly affected last week enjoyed clearer skies. Kuantan recorded a visibility of four kilometres for most parts of the day, while in Alor Star the conditions improved to six kilometres by 5 pm, according to Malaysian Meteorological Department reports.

Meanwhile, Perak and Selangor suffered the poorest air quality, with Kuala Selangor recording an Air Pollutant Index (API) reading of 89, followed by Seri Manjung (87) and Tanjung Malim (86) at 5 pm, according to the Department of Environment website.

Kuala Lumpur was covered in haze by midday, with the Petronas Twin Towers barely visible against the city skyline at noon, but Subang and Petaling Jaya had fair visibility readings of six and seven kilometres respectively.

Shroud over Kuala Lumpur

Penang was also not spared. Below is certainly not a pretty sight: A very hazy view of George Town, with the iconic Komtar just visible. According to the Penang Meteorological Department, rain is forecast in the next few days and this should help to reduce or clear the haze.

The normally dry weather at this time of the year coupled with transboundary haze have reduced visibility in Kuching City to under 8km. The Environment Department said the API reading recorded a moderate 96 at 11am Friday (9^th September 2011)

Putrajaya's landmark Putra Mosque, left, and Prime Minister's building are seen covered by haze in Putrajaya, outside Kuala Lumpur

As advise to public:

1. Reduce physical activities outside the home

2. Drinks a lot of water

3. Reduce sources of pollution like cigarette smoking

4. Use air conditioner in recirculation mode when driving

5. Keep your hands and face clean

Worst Affected Areas (11^th September 2011 - 5pm)
>> Kuala Selangor : API 89
>> Seri Manjung : API 87
>> Tanjung Malim : API 86
>> Ipoh : API 81
>> Bukit Rambai : API 81

Shield yourself against the haze...

What would I do to be a Better Student/ Human Being? Part 2

Assalamualaikum wbt..hello guys...

5) Study a little bit everyday.

It's much easier to study a little bit every day than trying to get all of your studying done in one 10-hour study session each week. You may find that you have more free time to do other things without feeling guilty about a big pile of work waiting for you at home.

6) Choose classes that you like and find interesting in the first place

Of course if you like a class and find it interesting, you're more likely to pay attention without getting bored. You are more likely to remember the lectures and the readings. Choose to take classes with interesting lecturers, who help interest and motivate you.

7) Finish your assignment on time

This often proves to be difficult due to conflicts with other classes, work and your social life. Students who manage to read their assignments on time retain longer and require less studying for exams. We know of a few students who kept up with all of the assignments and were able to skip cramming for final exams, much to the dismay of their fellow students. We're not saying this is easy.

I think that all...thanks for your cooperation..lets enjoy watching this video again by Dr. Ray Taheri in Part 2:

I have to earn it. So everyday I have to work very hard to learn the news things with some prays and trusts to ask the God to help me because I want to be the girl getting called up on the microphone for an honor roll with status as The Best of Bachelor student... I want to be confident and smart. I know I`m smart...

What I would do to be a Better student/ Human being Part 1

Assalamualaikum wbt..hello handsome boys and pretty girls....

Lets enjoy this story to be a better student/ human being...

I am the last one to know what`s going on in class, I`m the last one to raise my hand. The reason I don`t raise my hand is because I don`t know any answers to the questions that lecturer asks. When I’m in diploma student I didn’t realized that university not just like school, I thought that university was just likes school, I treated it as if it were a joke but now I`m degree student, and I want to change myself. I want to be the girl who gets straight A`s in the final exam, the one who raises their hand, the one who speaks for the class and doesn`t care what people think about them. Do I start my homework first when I get home? When I have test or quizzes, what do I do? I sit down and read the lecture note and do some tutorials, as many times I can. I ask the lecturer when I don’t understand to solve the questions and I ask my friend to help me doing some assignment. I wish I was the best student, but it never occurred to me until now that I have to work for it. Therefore I made a research on the internet, magazine and survey, how to be an excellent and good student in university and also for the society.

1) Study in a chair at a table

Do all you’re reading, writing and studying at a table, sitting upright in chair. Be sure to have good lighting, fresh air and fluids nearby. This is the number one most important technique to getting more out of studying and getting better grades. So many people lay on the floor to study, sit on a bed to study or recline on the sofa to study. If you are lying down, chances are, you'll get sleepy and fall asleep. When you are lounging, your mind drifts out of focus. When you are sitting upright, in a well-lit room, your studying will be the most focused. Every hour of studying this way could be worth two hours of studying on the bed or sofa. That means more time for fun.

2)When you study set goals and take breaks

Figure out how much work you need to do and how long it will take to do it. Set yourself the goal of completing a certain amount of work and then taking a study break. When you are studying, be very focused on studying. When you take your breaks, get up, walk around, get the blood flowing in your body and brain. If you are studying with a friend, hang out, talk, and socialize. It’s harder to take breaks if you leave all of your studying to the last minute hand find yourself cramming like crazy in a 7 hour study session, but it still helps to clear your head. Measured study with break gets the most done without burning you out.

3)Start to join a study group

When you have classes that involve complicated materials or have large volumes of reading, you should consider forming a study group with your peers. Quiz each other and explain things to each other. If there is a large amount of material you may want divide up the research and report back to each other. If you find that you are the one person in the group who knows much more than the others, you may still gain much from the study session. You will be practicing formulating your ideas. So even if you help bring your classmates from a C to a B, you may bring yourself from a B to an A. However, if the tests are highly competitive and graded on a curve, then you need to weigh the value of your study group. Make sure you leave yourself time to study on your own.

4) Know your strengths and weakness in testing types

People vary in how they respond to various types of testing. Some do best at essays, while others do better with multiple choice or short answers. If you are given a choice of testing types choose the ones in which you excel. If you have a weakness in one of these areas, we suggest you learn what it takes to do better. Also make sure you clearly understand what criteria your professor uses in grading.

Let’s see what are the Dr Ray Taheri says to become a better student Part 1:

To Be Continued....

A positive thing that I'm going to do during the Mid-Semester Break is…..

…..Lighting the ‘pelita’ to bring more colors and light for Raya day.

Eventhough, nowadays people prefer to use electric color light instead of pelita to make their Raya decoration more bright I still choose pelita. I have always been a true believer in the setting up of pelitas outside and all around the house come Hari Raya season. Pelitas add warmth to the season and are subtle reminders of the old kampung days when electricity access was limited and people relied solely on kerosene lamps for light in the dark.

Nowadays people install strings of colored light bulbs in the vicinity of their house compound for that bright festivity look, and although our house too has them, I have always been fond of pelitas in illuminating our home. This year, after so many years of abandoning the tradition, I decided to set out to look for my pelita lamps and relive the excitement.

However you decide to decorate your house this Raya season, nothing can quite beat the beauty of this timeless classic: pelita Hari Raya.

The pelita all lit up with their little long flames dancing lazily away in the night. I've always loved lit-up pelitas; they make the most beautiful sight.

Ops Sikap

289 deaths the worst on Ops Sikap record

The number of road accidents and deaths recorded under Ops Sikap 24 during the Hari Raya season was the highest since the operation was launched a decade ago. A total of 289 people died in 19,606 road accidents during the 15-day operation which ended on Tuesday. Motorcyclists and pillion riders made up 179 or 62% of the fatalities. There was an 18% jump in fatalities compared to 244 during last Hari Raya and a 16.5% rise in the number of accidents compared to 16,817 last year. Before Ops Sikap 24, the highest number of road deaths recorded during Hari Raya was 285 in 2002, and 265 in 2009. According to police who issued 133,808 summonses for various traffic offences during the operation, more accidents occurred on federal roads than on highways.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said as in the past years, speeding and the increase in the number of vehicles were among reasons for the steep rise.

During a time of celebration like this, hundreds have been killed in accidents that they could have been avoided.

Malaysians are warm and friendly but they become entirely different people when they hit the road. Apart from the increasing number of vehicles on the road or perhaps physical fatigue, it’s would say the main factor which leads to such mishaps is attitude (of drivers and motorcyclists).

There are so many reckless drivers out there. If only they can learn to be more patient and considerate, we will surely see more favourable statistics.

Apart from a few roads which might pose higher risks to motorists, Malaysian roads and highways were among the best in the world.

Almost every stretch of road is the country is safe for travel with the exception of a handful but the drivers and riders endanger themselves and others by the way they drive or ride. We need to do more to address this problem as we cannot allow such alarming number of deaths to occur each time there is a festival.

What I would do to be a better student/human being?

I think most students have experience as above. *__~

To become a better student/human being, firstly i must can my attitude, basically, a good student possesses the ability and willingness to learn new subjects even if the subjects are not interesting.

• Academic skills: Acquiring academic skills is the most important quality of a good student. Ability to read comprehensively, to write effectively, to speak fluently, and to communicate clearly are the key areas in which a student must be proficient.
  
  
• Ability: A good student has the ability to apply the results of his or her learning in to a creative way and achieve the goals.
  
  
• Perceptiveness: How well a student can interpret and perceive meanings from a conversation greatly determines the quality of a good.
  
  
• Self-Discipline: Discipline in managing the time is an important factor that every good student must possess.
  
  
• Understanding rather than memorizing concepts: Resolving any doubts by asking about them on the spot is always a good thing.
  
  
• Several surveys suggest students must understand the concepts rather than just memorize them.

It is possible that I will obtain good results in my examination if I changes my attitude start from now. And after that I can smile because .....
